ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED,

A woman, formerly our slave, is now our
cook. About eighteen months ago she became
sickly and had q cough and was confined to
bed, and it was thought that she had consump-
relief In December, 1884, node or knot the
size of goose egg, formed just above the pit of
the stomach, which when lanced discharged
matter for or months. One of these also
formed under her arm, and three on her back.
which discharged matter for a considerable
time. For six months Of this time she was con-
fined to the house, and most of the time in bed
The stomach often refused food, by rejecting
what she had eaten. She used q great deal of
medicine, but failed TO be cured. l bought one
bottle of your B. B. B. (made in Atlanta, Ca
and gave it to her. and she commenced to i'm
prove. then bought and gave her three bot
ties more, and she continued 10 improve and in
two months time her cough had ceased, her
constitution strengthened, appetite and diges-
ton good, all discharges ceased, nodes or knots
disappeared and she went to work apparently
healthy and fattened up greatly.
This woman had married sister of near the
same age who was affected In precisely the same
way and about the same time. She had node or
knot on pit of stomach, back, etc. She did not
take any B. B. B., and the node on her stomach
ate through to the cavity. She continued on
the decline and wasted away, and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood poison,
--one used B. B. B. and was speedily cured

The Rapid Republican, after having
been reproved by the Deadwood Pho
neer for criticising the action of 4. II.
White III the matter of matchmaking
the tin interests Of the Southern Hills
through the columns OF the New York
Mining Record, catechises the gentle
man AS follows:

Southern Hills?" In this matter in
London is not Taylor your c%orrcspon-
dent, and is it not through him that
you reach certain mining men in that
city? You see, Mr.. White, that the
Republican is in possession OF informa-
ton which you would rather not have

the Central and Northern Hills are not
the only ones in this section. and is
glad they are not. The Republican has
never said. n word derogatory to the
Niger Hill district, but has spoken
highly of it. believing it to be rich in
tin. Nothing but the same fairness in
return is desired now, a fairness which
has never yet been acc orded by some"
